I have a 99 subaru legacy outback and am trying to find cylinder head torque specs. Cav you help me ?

Sure. 2.5 liter engine, right? Thanks for using FixYa!

Secure the head in place with the mounting bolts. Coat each bolts with clean engine oil, and hand-tighten. Tighten the cylinder head bolts to the following specifications:

1. Step 1: all bolts to 22 ft. lbs. (29 Nm).
2. Step 2: all bolts to 51 ft. lbs. (69 Nm).
3. Step 3: loosen all bolts by 180 degrees, then loosen an additional 180 degrees.
4. Step 4: bolts 1 and 2 to 25 ft. lbs. (24 Nm).
5. Step 5: bolts 3, 4, 5 and 6 to 11 ft. lbs. (15 Nm).
6. Step 6: all bolts plus 80-90 degrees.
7. Step 7: All bolts plus 80-90 degrees.

loosening sequence differs from tightening sequence.
loosening sequence:



tightening sequence:





tighten each bolt in the sequence shown in 3 successive steps:
step 1: tighten all bolts to 22 ft-lbs (29 Nm)
step 2: 43 ft-lbs (59 Nm)
step 3: 47 ft-lbs (64 Nm).

intake manifold bolts: 13-16 ft-lbs (18-22 Nm)
turbo-charged engines with EGR pipe: 23-27 ft-lbs (31-37 Nm).
